Nice reasoning OP, I get it.

Had similar problems with a modern GSXS1000 ABS I test rode. Never ridden ABS before so had to test it out, I was surprised how early it cut in, genuinely felt I could brake harder, or at least allow a little lock up for a smoother experience.

Had similar issues with the traction control, it just cut in too early. But that can be reduced or disabled at will, same as you want to do with the ABS!

I still say go for the fuses, I test rode a Busa with ABS, which had an active ABS recall on it. So they disabled the ABS for the test ride, by removing the fuses.
